Run: 4.1 miles in 33:16 min. @ 5:10 am

Weather: Partly Cloudy, 65°F, 95% Humidity, Wind: SW @ 6 mph; feels like 65°F.
Route: Culver-Monroe-Winton-East Loop
Pace: 8:06 min/mile
Effort: 4 of 5
How did I feel? Good.


I took an unplanned day "off" yesterday, as I was simply not "feeling it" in the morning despite the fat hat I got so far as out the door and down the block yesterday morning at 5:00 am. This morning, it wasn't motivation but desperation that eventually got me on the streets. As work gets busier (summer school is quickly drawing to a close) my ability to set aside my responsibilities in the interest of pursuing whatever it is I am running for becomes more and more difficult.

While this morning's run went well, I was once again reminded of the necessity of finding a better time (really the only free time at home I have is after 8:00 pm) to train during the school year... as I came up the drive at nearly 6:00 am I realized that on most school days I'm already well into the 15 minute drive to work each morning. By the time practices end, and I get home to have dinner, it is usually almost 6:30 pm...
